A-League Round 7 Expert Tips & Predictions

The 2025/26 A-League season continues apace, as Sydney FC remain the team to catch at the top of the pile.

Inconsistency continues to blight most sides in the league, with no team able to get on any sort of winning run and the busy schedule over the festive period should be a test for all 12 sides.

With only eight points splitting the whole league from top to bottom, every side will believe they are in the hunt for at least a playoff spot this term and this should be another big weekend of A-League action.

Here are our A-League tips for the next round of 2025/26 fixtures:

2025/26 A-League Round 7 Predictions

—

Macarthur FC ($2.63)

Melbourne Victory ($2.60)

Draw ($3.60)

Things have taken a sharp downturn for Melbourne Victory in recent weeks, who now find themselves at the bottom of the A-League table and this will be a tough one on the road at Macarthur FC. Hosts Macarthur have won two and lost two of their last four games played and they don’t seem to know whether they are coming or going at the moment. Victory have lost their last three and currently occupy the wooden spoon position, but they will surely come good soon and this feels like a good chance for them to get back on track.

Perth Glory ($3.10)

Western Sydney Wanderers ($2.25)

Draw ($3.80)

Perth Glory and Western Sydney Wanderers are two sides looking to build on slow starts this season and they meet here on the West coast, in what should be a good one. Glory have won their last two games and look to be turning the corner slightly, after a tricky couple of season. WSW are in the same boat, having climbed away from wooden spoon trouble after winning their last two and they will fancy their chances here. All three results are in play here, but Wanderers could just have too much for Glory.

WSW to win 2-1

Auckland FC ($1.50)

Wellington Phoenix ($6.50)

Draw ($4.40)

A couple of poor results have left a few question marks lingering around Auckland FC, but they will get the chance to answer them here, as they take on Wellington Phoenix. Despite only picking up one point from their last two, Auckland still sit third and have the capacity to challenge for the title this term. Wellington Phoenix meanwhile are ticking along nicely in sixth place and a play off push feels within their grasp this term. Auckland FC need a win, and they should get one at home here.

Auckland FC to win 3-1

—

Newcastle Jets ($3.50)

Melbourne City ($2.00)

Draw ($3.90)

Newcastle Jets have ensured a tough start to the campaign but a win at Auckland FC last time out should give them a welcome boost ahead of this one against Melbourne City. The Jets sit down in 11^th and clearly have work to do if they are to push for the playoffs this term. Melbourne City meanwhile are also struggling for consistency, but they have such quality in their ranks, they start as strong favourites here. Both sides will fancy their chances, but City look decent value for the win.

Melbourne City to win 2-1

Central Coast Mariners ($4.50)

Sydney FC ($1.73)

Draw ($4.00)

Table topping Sydney FC have a tough looking trip on their hands across New South Wales to Central Coast Mariners. Hosts Mariners have been ticking along ok this season but games like this feel like a real barometer for a side in relative transition. Sydney FC meanwhile suffered a tough loss at local rivals WSW last time out, but they still are the side to beat at the top of the A-League table. This will be tight, but Sydney FC look decent value to pick up the win.

Sydney FC to win 2-1

—

Adelaide United ($2.05)

Brisbane Roar ($3.60)

Draw ($3.80)

Three losses from their last five games played have Adelaide United searching for form but they will be desperate to get back on track here against Brisbane Roar. Adelaide still sit fourth in the table and remain one of the most dangerous sides in the division and they will start as strong favourites here against Brisbane Roar. The visitors however are unbeaten in their last four and are beginning to build some serious momentum this season. This one could go either way but Adelaide United look decent value for all three points at home here.
